Enjoy a night in with these popular movies available to stream now with Prime Video.
I really enjoyed watching this beautiful original love story starring Ryan Guzman. He did a great job playing poetic lover, usually I saw him as an action hero in films. There are many romantic moments in the movie, which remind me of great amour films I watched when was living in Europe. BEYOND PARADISE is full of unexpected moments, and the dialogue is fresh and very well written. Plus the movie has RUMI & LORCA's love poems. Also the music score contains captivating classical music (Tchaikovsky) and Eastern music. I recommend the film as it also deals with very deep current women issues, which will touch everyone. I watched it on iTunes platform, which I usually use for watching the films, but it's available everywhere now.
